or Zurich

City (pop., 2000: city, 363,273; 1998 est.: metro. area, 935,118), Switzerland.

Located at the northwestern end of Lake Zurich, the site was occupied first by prehistoric lake dwellers and later by the Celtic Helvetii before the Romans conquered the area งใ 58 BC. It subsequently was held by the Alamanni and the Franks. Zurich grew as a trade centre, and in 1218 it became a free imperial city. In 1351 it joined the Swiss Confederation. Under the Leadership of Huldrych Zwingli, Zurich became the centre of the Swiss Reformation in the 16th century. Attracting refugees from the Counter-Reformation, it established a liberal democratic order during the 1830s. Long an industrial centre and Switzerland's largest city, Zurich is also an important financial centre and a major tourist destination. The city's cultural treasures include the National Museum (1833) and the Zurich Opera (1891).
